1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the
brake tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the
following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on
a vehicle:
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from
all moving or hot engine parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases
are poisonous.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the
vehicle
unattended while running tests.
Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components
create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical
fires nearby.
Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the
ignition
is on or the engine is running.
Keep the brake tool dry, clean, and free from oil/water or grease.
Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the
brake tool, when necessary.
